This 7.5" tri-colour e-ink bare display features 800×480 pixels in red, black, and white. E-paper displays are daylight-readable, ultra-low power, and retain their image even when completely depowered — ideal for battery-powered and always-on signage applications.
This is the bare display element with a standard 24-pin FPC e-paper connector. A compatible driver board is required (sold separately) to interface it with your microcontroller or development board. The display uses the UC8179 chipset.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ePaper
- A display technology that looks more like printed paper than a glowing screen and usually keeps its image visible with very little power. It matters for projects such as labels, badges, and status screens where readability and low power use are more important than fast animation.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
